Product Details

The ADP120 is a low quiescent current, low dropout, linear regulator that operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and provides up to 100 mA of output current. The low 60 mV dropout voltage at 100 mA load improves efficiency and allows operation over a wide input voltage range. The low 22 μA of quiescent current at full load makes the ADP120 ideal for battery-operated portable equipment.

The ADP120 is available in output voltages ranging from 1.2 V
to 3.3 V. The part is optimized for stable operation with small
1 μF ceramic output capacitors. The ADP120 delivers good transient performance with minimal board area. Short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection circuits prevent damage in adverse conditions. The ADP120 is available in a tiny 5-lead TSOT and a 4-ball 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP and utilizes the smallest footprint solution for use in a variety of portable applications.

Evaluation Kits

Product Details

In order to get the correct unpopulated evaluation board with an appropriate Bill of Materials and Schematic, you need to use the button for "Request Evaluation Board" from within the design tool. Make sure the design tool is in a state that matches your desired power requirements.

This will create a template email that will request from us the proper blank evaluation board for that ADI part and your application's power parameters.

Note: Some parts have multiple blank boards for high/low current or for different topologies (Boost, SEPIC, SEPIC-Cuk), while other blank boards support multiple ADI parts. This is why it is important to run the design tool with your parameters before making your email request from the tool.

Tools & Simulations

Design Tools

This expert design tool produces custom DC-DC converter designs in about a minute. The user enters 5 inputs and chooses to optimize for efficiency, PCB space, cost, or part count. Output is a complete schematic, BOM, efficiency plot, and performance summary. A PDF summary and a blank PCB is offered for each design to facilitate fast prototyping to verify the design.
